Show and Tell at Carolyn's

I have been away from the shop too long and was delighted with the lovely work happening in the sewing room.

Margaret, just back from five months on the road had not wasted any of her time while she was away! Her clamshells are gorgeous.

Deb takes the cake for sheer diligence. Look at this amazing progress with the Folk Art Basket Quilt!

Leigh was quietly quilting a labour of love. She is finishing a Grandmother's Flower Garden with blocks her mother made. It will be extraordinary and an heirloom to treasure.

Jacqui had the centre of the Australian Medallion - a Brigid Giblin Quilt taught by Libby at Carolyn's. Terrific fabric choices Jacqui.

First up is the lovely Gabrielle by Mary Koval for Windham Fabrics. Its a lovely romantic range as this free project demonstrates.

The little birds in these two are very sweet.

Secondly, another arrival of History Repeated has hit the shelves.

Below are just a select few.

There are more images of the fabrics in this range on the Windham site here, and also several free quilt projects.

Sundial Coverlet Finished and on Show!

There's little I can add to this picture.

The Sundial has been a labour of love for Carolyn and it has been a huge effort to have it hanging at the Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair.

This a beautiful reproduction of the 1797 quilt and is as faithful to the original as is possible. If you are interested in doing this Block of the Month check out the details here.

Hobart here she comes!

Not the Goo-oo-d Ship Lollypop, but perhaps the next best thing.

Carolyn headed for Hobart yesterday onboard the Spirit of Tasmania.

Check her out at stand B02 at Hobart's Craft and Quilt Show!

Just a step to the left - and it's Modern!

I thought I was seeing double when I saw this quilt on a blog yesterday!

It is so similar to a design of Carolyn's called Pure Charm.

On closer examination the 'links' between the framed charm squares are off centre. It's a nice touch and shows just how little difference there is between the traditional and the modern sometimes.

Below is Carolyn's,

and here is the 'Modern' quilt.

For some more great pictures like this one go to the blog Freshly Pieced at the link below. Modern works really well in reproduction fabrics and who knows where inspiration will come from.

Keeping you informed!
